''Farewell My Concubine'' is a 1993 Chinese drama film directed by Chen Kaige and one of the central works of the Fifth Generation movement that brought Chinese film directors to world attention.〔Paul Clark, Reinventing China, p. 159; Zha, China Pop pp. 96–100. -〕 Similar to other Fifth Generation films like ''To Live'' and ''The Blue Kite'', ''Farewell My Concubine'' explores the effect of China's political turmoil during the mid-20th century on the lives of individuals, families, and groups, in this case, two stars in a Peking opera troupe and the woman who comes between them. The film is an adaptation of the novel by Lilian Lee. Lilian Lee is also one of the film's screenplay writers. The actor Leslie Cheung was used in the film to attract audiences because melodramas are not a popular genre. Also, due to Gong Li's international stardom, she was used as the other main character in the film. ''Farewell My Concubine'' remains to date the only Chinese-language film to win the Cannes Palme d'Or. ==Development== The author of the novel, Lilian Lee, collaborated with Chen Kaige on the production of the script for the film version.〔Braester, p.
